Quick – With a purpose!

Chapter:

Hola amigos y amigas!

Just a quick check-in today, to go with the quick nature of the Extra page, I suppose! As much as I’d love to finish off the inks for Friday’s page (trying to build up a bit of a buffer due to an impending training week back down in Manchester), I really need to dedicate some time to writing out the script for this comic I’m working on for submission. As much as I love Elf Blood, it’s not going to get me published – although it sure as shoot helps me practice and shows dedication to a schedule! read more

Another Star Joins the Heavens

by on March 2, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Leonard Nimoy has passed on.

As one of my friends remarked, it felt like he would always be there. He was this cosmic force, this stalwart not just of acting and science fiction, but of life also. He was a kind-hearted, wise, likeable man, and doubtless he has inspired thousands across the fields of art and science. It will be a long, long time before we see another quite like him. He was never afraid to laugh at himself, or to lampoon the projects with which he had involved himself – for he knew that whenever we were laughing, we laughed with him, lovingly at his work, as friends might do. read more

Some thoughts: Monster Hunter 4

by on February 23, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Ahoy hoy, everybody!

In my spots of spare-time between doing the comic (when I really should be writing, or practicing my acrylics and pastels) this weekend I’ve been playing copious amounts of Monster Hunter 4 on my New 3DS. I’m going to summarize it in general here, before picking out the fun bits that I really enjoy:

Is it worth getting? Yes.

Why? It’s a fun, action-packed romp where you get to fight dinosaurs in hand-to-hand combat.

How different is it from other Monster Hunter games? Not very. As much as any Monster Hunter game differs from another. Although it has maybe one or two more gimmicks that do offer some interesting strategic choices. read more

Quick – Yet Awesome!

by on February 20, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Aloha everyone! Hope you’ve been having a great week!

I thought I’d have some time to write a decent length post today, but rather fortunately I was too pressed to do so. My Grandpa, who you might remember from last Friday’s post, got out of the hospital today and is now back at home. He seems to be even more lucid and stronger than he has been over the last few years. He’s still confusing one or two things, which is to be expected of somebody suffering from any amount of dementia – but he’s doing so well. read more

The New 3DS – First Impressions

by on February 16, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Well, after what was an incredibly tough week, I was incredibly glad when the 13th rolled round, for this was the European release date for the New 3DS. I’d pre-ordered my New 3DSXL with a copy of Monster Hunter 4 (which I will wax lyrical on later on in the week, no doubt).

What’s different about the new 3DS? Well, the immediately noticeable difference is that it integrates into the base device the extra controls that previously the Circle Pad Pro attachment had added. It actually looks pretty decent, for having more buttons than an A380’s cockpit, although many might be curious about the implementation of the second analogue stick – In order to minimise the real-estate taken up, the right-hand analogue stick is actually a little pressure nub – It doesn’t slide or move anywhere really, it just measures how hard you’re pushing it in any given direction. It looks a bit weird, it takes a while to figure out really, and I don’t know how it’ll hold up over long-term use. But it does work, and surprisingly well! read more

A Damn Good Man.

by on February 13, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

As I was drawing this page, I began to notice just how much Mortessa’s Accountant (the elderly chap telling the tale, for those of you who have forgotten) resembles my grandpa.

My grandpa is a great guy – Unfortunately, he’s pretty much on the downward slope right now. He has vascular dementia, and a recent infection afflicted him with delerium, driving him out of the house and into the hospital – The staff of which I would like to take this opportunity to thank profusely. The Royal Alexandra Hospital, the NHS, and the quality, polite, and professional staff who work there – you’ve always done right by me and my family. read more

A brief post.

by on February 9, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hi all, apologies for another brief post – A combination of having nothing useful to say, physical fatigue, and psychological maladjustment. Nothing to worry about, my mind’s just playing games with me, old wounds etc. My problem, and fortunately I’m back home where my friends and family can help me out.

Anyway, hopefully I’ll be in a more chipper mood on Friday. See you all then, I’m sure!

M.

Weekend Enjoyment – Go!

by on January 23, 2015 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hullo all! I’m just going to keep the post short and sweet today, as I’d quite like to get a spot of writing done before I hit the hay for the evening!

This weekend, I will be looking forward to:

  • The aforementioned writing. I’m doing quite well at it, and I’ve been able to apply a LOT of the stuff I’ve learned in the past couple of years. I’m quite happy now to strip out entire paragraphs if I feel that they’re not advancing character or plot, and replace or condense them with exciting, interesting reading!
  • Payday. This also means Lego Day, although I now have a <50% chance of getting a new minifig in the current minifig trading series. Will probably get a little Star Wars lego kit or something.
  • Friday Night at Casa de Me Amigo. Fun times modding games, good chat, and general awesomeness. Yes, we are very nerdy.
  • Jambalaya. I’ve not made it in a while, but it seemed like the thing to cook.
    • read more

    Hold on tight!

    by on January 16, 2015 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Hullo all you fabulous people! Hope you’re all weathering the storms reasonably well wherever you are (if, indeed, you are having storms). It’s been pretty hefty weather over this way the last few days. Hell, travelling back from Manchester yesterday I could feel the train swaying from side to side under the force of the wind! Flood warning after flood warning came in on the weather, and the whole south of Scotland looked like some sort of winter wonderland. If said wonderland were run by The Joker. Who had kidnapped Mr. Freeze. read more

    Gah, late again!

    by on January 5, 2015 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Hullo everybody, hope you’re all doing well!

    Unfortunately, I’m uploading this at ten-to-two AM again; I really must manage my time better, but stuff just keeps on popping up at the weekends. One of the benefits of moving back to Glasgow I suppose, I’m never stuck for stuff to do! It’ll all be fine once I move into my own place, I think, then I can be in full control of my own schedule. Fingers crossed it’ll happen soon!

    Anyway, I was going to go into detail about my backgrounds from today’s page, but I think I’ll leave that until Friday to do. In the meantime, bed and then work in the morning! read more
